This is a listing for a *RARE* Rook’s Windsor Ointment. The pot reads:

“PREPARED ONLY BY M. ROOK 47 CANWICK PR. LINCOLN”

Windsor Ointment was a popular remedy in the 19th century, often used to treat skin conditions, wounds, or other topical ailments. W.A. Rook was a chemist based at 47 Canwick Road in Lincoln, England. Chemists like Rook would often prepare and brand their own formulations, sometimes based on traditional remedies like Windsor Ointment. These Rook pots date from 1880-1910.

The lid is in good condition with a beautiful black transfer, no cracks and a few small chips on bottom rim, not visible when on the base. The base is in very good, clean condition. Please view the images for your best description of this pot.

Lidded Pot Measures Approx 1 3/4” diameter x 2 1/4 ” tall

This is an authentic antique advertising pots sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from friends who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.

Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious antiquing.

On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.

Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.

Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
